In your build, you mention trying Tamiya masking tape. I too love the Tamiya tape. Great clean lines every time Iíve used it. Last year I bought a can of Tamiya Surface Primer to try out. Itís a great primer to use on plastic since it has no fillers in it to dull any details on parts. It provides a protective coat on plastic when using lacquers, too, to prevent crazing. Comes in white and light gray.

Thanks; I've founds most of the Tamiya products to be excellent. I haven't tried their primer yet as my local shop doesn't carry it, so I've used the Model Master lacquer primer on the items that have fine detail, which has worked well under the TS series Tamiya paints. Maybe I'll have to pick some up next time I order paints online.
